This Moon feels safe through consistency, tangible proof, patience, and reliable rhythm, and its emotional intelligence grows through patient, reliable, sensual awareness. The more it understands its relationship with sensuality, patience, endurance, the easier it becomes to respond from security instead of reaction.
